Our Story Trip

The history of Attica owes much to the ancient traveler and geographer Pausanias of 2nd century AD, through his work ‘Description of Greece’. Especially in his first book that refers to Athens and the municipalities of Attica, he has recorded myths, historical events, renowned sanctuaries, buildings and works of art. So, with Pausanias we will meet a rich historical part of Attica!
